A1: Once in Thailand, I put a post on FB asking if anyone else was in Thailand and a Melbourne friend and an old school friend both were so we all caught up for drinks. Another time in Cusco I ran into a guy I used to work with #ttot

We were on a holiday in Portugal where we met another couple from Cologne. We got along well, but didn't stay in contact. After 3 years we bumped into each other again at the main entrance of our house & we realized that we lived all those years in the same building. 😄

A1 Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro (pop. 6.3Million) with local friends. I ran into a former student of mine from EHL Hotel School Lausanne, Switzerland. She was just coming out the building with her yoga mat calling my name. (left w/ another former student with me.) #TTOT

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii That's so strange somehow, right? You wouldn't expect those things to happen. But I guess we know far more people than we think and when traveling, people usually go to the same spots, so that the chances to meet someone are higher than we think. #ttot

@SonjaSwissLife Awesome! :-)
On the other side, I guess you've had so many students, that the chances are higher than for someone else, right? #ttot

A1 I was in Geneva for a conference and saw a primary school friend had checked in to Geneva on FB. I msged her and we ended up catching up for drinks and dinner #ttot

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes or even meeting people who know your friends. Oktoberfest in Munich was big for that. Met so many people who knew friends of mine or even lived in the same area as me! #ttot

A1 THAT is extraordinary. I hope that you were friends afterwards. #TTOT https://t.co/yAww3FWYWP

A2: While traveling, I've learned that everyone got a story to tell, where you can learn & profit from. You just need to stay open minded for it & ask the right questions.

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes I did have a few thousand students from all over the world but only a handful from Brazil. I think the chances of seeing one that is NOT in a hotel working at that moment are zip. #TTOT

replying to @wheresshellyii
@wheresshellyii hahaha. That sounds weird, though Oktoberfest is where the world meets. ;-)
I've never been, but I've heard that there is an Italian weekend and I guess the chances to meet other friends from Italy is realistic, if you are not too drunk. ;-)
But Australia.

replying to @lingointransit
@lingointransit Yes, that was very unusual & shows the anonymity of big cities.
When we bumped into them again, we asked them what they do here & they said they live here & we said "We too".
Too funny.

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes can confirm, a LOT of Australians go to Oktoberfest, lol #ttot

A2 I agree, Sophie. And new friends can keep our minds open & we learn new things. It never stops. #TTOT https://t.co/VF3rbiWXcq

@wheresshellyii My tactic of having no friends and not associating with my family makes such random meetings nearly impossible. Haha

A3: Oktoberfest in Munich, met so many people that knew my friends back home or were siblings of my friends #ttot

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes Probably more likely in Europe. Not sure there's much rain forest left down there nor hotel jobs :) #TTOT
